“I am not a School's member, but I am a Safe Credit Union member. Not only is this the most convenient drive-thru ATM, has great lighting at night which helps make me feel safe and because I am a member of a credit union I do not get those extra charges using a different bank.”
“This credit union is so special. The staff are friendly and truly go out of their way to know you by name. I love the holiday festivities they do with staff and members like me and others get to vote. They are pet friendly and on my birthday, they gave me a chocolate bar with Happy Birthday on it. So many little things that make this branch so special. Most importantly, when I had a financial challenge, they were there for me. The partnership is one I truly value and cherish. Thank you Schools First for trusting me & building something for my generations to come. Ps Marissa is a God given blessing!”

“Fast and friendly! Zero complaints for this credit union. I signed up about a year ago, and I go in every two weeks or so. They are closed on weekends, which is a bit of a bummer, but that's pretty normal for a bank. Tellers need weekends, too! There are three regular tellers at the desk and I've conversed with them all. Each is proficient and courteous.”

As a member of this credit union, I trust her wholeheartedly.”

When I reported the forgeries, Golden One representative, Zer Thao, efficiently and effectively dealt with the forgeries, arranging for the prompt return of my stolen cash and the opening of a new account. Three cheers for Zer and Golden One!”

“Excellent Credit Union. I both work and bank here and am pleased with the work we do at FirstUS. We are not perfect, but we do our best to offer quality service and are always looking for ways to improve and better serve the community at large.”
“I had an amazing experience working with Cindy Escobar, the branch manager at Golden 1 Bank. She is extremely kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about helping her customers. Cindy took the time to explain all the great deals Golden 1 offers, guided us through home loan options, and even helped finance our car today at a very low interest rate.
Her professionalism, patience, and hard work truly stood out. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and I felt confident and happy with every decision because of her guidance. Cindy went above and beyond to help us, and I’m very grateful for her support.
She is an excellent branch manager in every way, and I highly recommend working with her if you’re looking for honest advice and outstanding service. Thank you, Cindy, for making today such a great experience!”
